Our work together is a collaborative process. A change in your life may be on the horizon, or you may feel unsure of where to begin to initiate change. We will find our way out of stuck places together. It’s your journey and I am here to support you.

In session, we may uncover relationship patterns, honor parts of self, examine coping habits, and explore the mind-body connection. We might set boundaries, shift dynamics, and let go of things that no longer serve you. Your internal wisdom is our guide as we craft a treatment plan to reach your goals.

My style is direct, strengths-based, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I take a person-in-environment, anti-racist perspective, listening closely for how societal systems and historical forces shape lived experience.

I am committed to working with people who want to get to the root of their emotional distress and life suffering. In-depth psychotherapy helps us to grow our capacity to fully experience all of our feelings. Learning how to put our thoughts and feelings into words helps us get our emotional needs met. Exploring painful experiences is often a very difficult and lonely process. That is why talking with a well-trained psychotherapist can be helpful to facilitate our understanding of why we feel the way we do. Out of this fundamental understanding of ourselves arises authentic forgiveness and compassion.

When we can speak openly and honestly in an atmosphere of radical acceptance, we can discover the inner strength and flexibility needed for deep and lasting change. Please do not hesitate to call me to schedule a free consult to learn more.
